BACKGROUND

More people die or develop a serious disease from air pollution than from any other environmental factors. Air pollution is linked to about 7 million premature deaths. Outdoor air pollution is associated with ischemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and acute lower respiratory infections in children. Indoor air pollution is linked to stroke, coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute lower respiratory infections in children, and lung cancer.

Among pollutants that are of concern are criteria air pollutants. Criteria air pollutants are six common air pollutants that include ozone, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and lead.

Many environmental pollutants are oxidants or catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) directly or indirectly. ROS are believed to activate cytoproliferative and/or cell survival signaling mechanisms, including mechanisms that can alter apoptotic and other regulated pathways that may be involved in the pathogenesis of a number of skin disorders, including photosensitivity diseases and some types of cutaneous malignancy.

The skin possesses an array of defense mechanisms that interact with toxicants to obviate their deleterious effects. These protective mechanisms include non-enzymatic and enzymatic molecules that function as potent antioxidants or oxidant-degrading systems. Unfortunately, these homeostatic defenses, although highly effective, have limited capacity and can be overwhelmed, thereby leading to increased ROS in the skin that can foster the development of dermatological diseases.

Although many advances in the art of formulating lotions have been made, many more challenges remain.

BRIEF SUMMARY

Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to a topical composition that comprises a combination of ingredients that block the effects of gaseous pollutants to a patient's skin. Specifically, the present invention is related to a topical composition for use in reducing exposure of gaseous pollutants to the skin, prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent.

One of the advantages of the present invention is that the topical composition prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent, exhibit a synergistic effect of lowering the exposure of ozone transmission through the topical composition.

The vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer is a linear, random copolymer produced by the free-radical polymerization of vinylpyrrolidone monomers and vinyl acetate monomers in a particular ratio.

The solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer may be a powder, microspheres, flakes, or pellets. Under one embodiment the solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer is a powder.

The vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent may be dissolved in a weight ratio range of about 40 wt % to about 60 wt %. Under one embodiment, the vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer is dissolved in the solvent at about 50 wt %.

The molecular weight of the vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer is in the range of about 10,000 g/mol to about 100,000 g/mol.

The topical composition prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent. Under an embodiment, the weight ratio of the copolymer contents of (a) to (b) is about 8:1 to about 0.4:1. Under an embodiment, the weight ratio of the copolymer contents of (a) to (b) is about 8:1 to about 0.5:1. Under an embodiment, the weight ratio of the copolymer contents of (a) to (b) is about 8:1 to about 0.67:1.

Vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymers dissolve in polar solvents. These solvent include solvents that are small organic compounds which contain atoms with lone pairs, such as oxygen, or nitrogen. The solvent should not have a high degree of hydrocarbon-like characteristic. Acceptable solvents include alcohols, esters, ketones, and water.

The balance of the topical composition is any topical composition that is compatible with both vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymers.

The topical composition is prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent. The steps for preparing the topical composition include: preparing base skin lotion, adding to it solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and then adding to that vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent. Alternatively, the steps for preparing the topical composition include: preparing base skin lotion, adding to it vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent, and then adding to that solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer. The term “sequentially” means that ingredients (a) and (b) are not added at the same time, but one after each other, in any suitable order.

It has been observed that the addition of solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer at 1.0 wt % in a lotion exhibits ozone blocking at about 11%. It has also been observed that the addition of vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in pure ethanol at 1.0 wt % in a lotion exhibits ozone blocking at about 10%. However, the addition of both solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer and dissolved vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, each at 1 wt % level in a lotion, exhibits ozone blocking at about 32%. This is an unusual and unexpected large increase in the ozone blocking ability of the lotion that comprises the solid and dissolved vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer. This substantial increase is repeatable, and is statistically significant.

The present invention is also directed to a method for reducing exposure of gaseous pollutants to skin of a patient for skin, comprising applying to an area of skin the topical composition prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent.

The method comprises the steps of placing the topical composition onto a small portion of a patient's skin, and spreading the topical composition onto a larger section of the patient's skin to form a layer of the topical composition; or the steps of placing the topical composition onto a patient's hand, and spreading the topical composition onto a larger section of the patient's skin to form a layer of the topical composition; or the steps of placing the topical composition onto a device, and spreading the topical composition onto a larger section of the patient's skin to form a layer of the topical composition.

When referring to a member of a Markush group, wherein the member is in a plural form, then the reference is made to any species of that member. For example, the phrase “the solvent is selected from the group consisting of alcohols, . . . ” means that the solvent can be a single alcohol (such as ethanol), or a mixture of alcohols.

The abbreviations and symbols as used herein, unless indicated otherwise, take their ordinary meaning. The term “wt %” means percent by weight. The symbol “ppb” means parts per billion. The unit “g/mol” means grams per mole, the unit “mg” means milligrams. The characters “α”, “ρ”, and “γ” are Greek letters alpha, beta, and gamma, respectively.

The symbols “-”, “=”, superscripted “-” in a chemical formula mean a single bond, a double bond, a negative charge, respectively; the symbols “-” and “=” in mathematical context mean minus and equals, respectively. When referring to chemical structures, and names, symbols “H”, “C”, and “O”, are chemical symbols for hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen, respectively.

Brackets around a species, such as “[O₃]”, indicate the concentration of the species recited in the bracket. The concentration may be express in mol/L or in ppb.

The term “about” when referring to a number means ±10% Mo. For example, the phrase “about 30,000” refers to a number between and including 27,000 and 33,000.

As used throughout, ranges are used as shorthand for describing each and every value that is within the range. Any value within the range can be selected as the terminus of the range.

The term “polymer”, as for example in the phrase “acrylic acid polymer”, is to be interpreted broadly. Examples of polymers include both a homopolymer (a polymer comprising a single species of monomer) and a copolymer. The term “copolymer” means a polymer comprising more than one species of monomer. The copolymer of the present invention consists of, or comprises essentially of, one or more linear chain copolymers.

In some embodiments, the present invention is directed to a topical composition that comprises a combination of ingredients that block the effects of gaseous pollutants to a patient's skin.

In other embodiments, the present invention is related to a topical composition for use in reducing exposure of gaseous pollutants to skin, prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent.

One of the advantages of the present invention is that the topical composition prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent, exhibit a synergistic effect of lowering the exposure of ozone transmission through the topical composition.

The vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer is a linear, random copolymer produced by the free-radical polymerization of vinylpyrrolidone monomers and vinyl acetate monomers in a particular ratio.

Vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer may be abbreviated as PVP/VA, or PVP/VA copolymer, and may be known as poly(1-vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate).

The vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer has the formula —[CH₂—CHR]_(x)—, wherein R is either a pyrrolidone bound to the polymer chain via the pyrrolidone's nitrogen, or an acetate group. The variable x varies with the molecular length, but is generally roughly 200 to 1000. Alternatively, vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer has the formula —[CH₂CHY]_(m)[CH₂═CH(—CO—CH₃)]_(n)—, wherein Y is a pyrrolidone bound to the polymer chain via the pyrrolidone's nitrogen.

A pyrrolidone consists of a five-membered ring containing an amide group. Vinylpyrrolidone consists of a five-membered ring containing an amide group, wherein the nitrogen of the amide group is further bonded to a vinyl group.

An acetate group consists of the group —O—CO—CH₃.

The present invention is related to a topical composition prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent. The definition of the term “solvent” includes any fluid which fully solubilizes the vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer of (b). Under one embodiment, the solvent is cosmetically acceptable solvent.

Vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymers dissolve in polar solvents. These solvent include solvents that are small organic compounds which contain atoms with lone pairs, such as oxygen, or nitrogen. The solvent should not have a high degree of hydrocarbon-like characteristic. Acceptable solvents include alcohols, esters, ketones, and water.

Under one embodiment, the solvent is selected from the group consisting of alcohols, esters, and ketones.

Alcohols include primary and secondary alcohols. Examples of alcohol include methanol, CH₃OH, ethanol, CH₃—CH₂—OH, n-propanol, CH₃—CH₂—CH₂—OH, i-propanol, isopropanol, CH₃—CH(OH)—CH₃, and mixtures thereof.

Esters include methyl acetate, CH₃—CO—O—CH₃, ethyl acetate, CH₃—CO—O—CH₂—CH₃, methyl propionate, CH₃—CH₂—CO—O—CH₃, ethyl propionate, CH₃—CH₂—CO—O—CH₂—CH₃, and mixtures thereof.

Ketones include acetone, CH₃—CO—CH₃, methyl ethyl ketone, CH₃—CO—CH₂—CH₃, 3-pentone, CH₃—CH₂—CO—CH₂—CH₃, and mixtures thereof.

Under one embodiment, the solvent is ethanol.

The present invention is related to a topical composition for use in reducing exposure of gaseous pollutants to the skin, prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent. The balance of the topical composition is any topical composition that is compatible with both vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymers.

The topical composition may be a skin lotion. A skin lotion is a stable or semi-stable mixture of oils, water, and ingredients miscible therein. The ingredient with the highest loading level is usually water. The oils may be used to provide moisturizing effects to the patient's skin. Moisturization can happen in a variety of ways including changing the feel of the skin, attracting water to the skin, and blocking water from escaping the skin. When put on the skin, the lotion interacts with the skin surface to provide a soothing feeling. Over time, the occlusive agents in the lotion prevent water from leaving the skin which helps build moisture in the skin. This additional moisture ultimately mitigates the problems associated with dry skin.

The mixture of water, oil, and other ingredients that form skin lotion are formulated to provide a homogeneous mixture, such as an emulsion. Additional ingredients include ingredients that may be described by their function in the emulsion, such as diluents, thickeners, humectants, preservatives, neutralizers, emulsifiers, co-emulsifiers, emollients, occlusive agents, fragrances, and colorants. Some ingredients may have more than function in the skin lotion.

Common moisturizing ingredients are occlusive agents which create a barrier that blocks water from escaping the skin. Examples of occlusive agents include petrolatum, fatty alcohols (such as cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol), hydrocarbon oils (such as mineral oil), silicones (such as dimethicone and cyclomethicone), squalene, wax esters (such as beeswax and lanolin; vegetable waxes (such as candelilla, carnauba, and palm kernel), plant-based oils (such as olive, rice bran, macadamia, castor, soybean oil, shea butter), cholesterol, and lecithin.

The lotion may include a humectant, which is an ingredient that attracts water. The humectant attracts and retains the moisture in the air nearby via absorption, drawing the water vapor into or beneath the surface of the upper layer of the patient's skin. Humectants generally have hydroxyl groups which allow them to participate in hydrogen bonding and attract water. This process attracts moisture from the outer layer of the skin or, in high humidity, from the atmosphere. The moisture is then trapped against the epidermis. Examples of humectants include triethylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, polyethylene glycols, PPG, glycerin, sorbitol, hexylene glycol, butylene glycol, urea, silicones, collagen, aloe, honey, and hyaluronic acid.

The lotion may also include an emollient. An emollient is an ingredient that improves the feel of the lotion on the skin. An emollient may reduce the tackiness and greasiness caused by the other moisturizing ingredients. Examples of common emollients include coconut oil, cetyl esters, selected silicones oils, shea butter, cocoa butter, mineral oil, lanolin, petrolatum, paraffin, beeswax, squalene, coconut oil, jojoba oil, sesame oil, almond oil, cetyl alcohol, olive oil, oleic acid, and triethylhexanoin.

The lotion may also comprise an emulsifier. An emulsifier is an ingredient that improves the stability of the mixture of oil materials and water. Examples of common emulsifiers include, glyceryl stearate and stearic acid. Additional examples of emulsifiers include acacia seyal gum octenylsuccinate, C₁₂₋₁₈-acid triglyceride, acrylates crosspolymer-4, Adansonia digitata seed oil peg-8 esters, Adansonia digitata seed oil

The lotion may also comprise a colorant. A colorant may be used to provide a tinge the lotion prior to the application by the patient to the patient's skin for aesthetic purposes. Alternatively, a colorant may be used to provide color the lotion prior to the application by the patient to the patient's skin for identification purposes. Alternatively, or additionally, a colorant may be used to provide a coloring effect on the skin of the patient after the application of the lotion onto the skin of the patient.

The topical composition of the present invention is prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent.

The steps for preparing the topical composition of the present invention include: preparing base skin lotion, adding to it solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and then adding to that vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent.

Alternatively, the steps for preparing the topical composition of the present invention include: preparing base skin lotion, adding to it vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent, and then adding to that solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer.

The term “sequentially” means that ingredients (a) and (b) are not added at the same time, but one after each other, in any suitable order. Under one embodiment ingredient (a) is added first, and then ingredient (b) is added. Under another embodiment ingredient (b) is added first, and then ingredient (a) is added.

The present invention is also related to a topical composition for use in reducing exposure of gaseous pollutants to skin, prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent, wherein the composition is a fully formulated topical lotion for use in reducing exposure of gaseous pollutants to skin of a patient.

The term “fully formulated” means that the lotion is ready for use by the patient.

Under one embodiment the topical composition of the present invention is used like any common cream, gel, or body lotion. The topical composition may be spread on a patient's skin like any other typical cream, gel, or body lotion. It may be spread with the patient's hand or any suitable device. The topical composition is spread at about a 20-micrometer layer. Under another embodiment, the topical composition is spread in a layer of 30 micrometers or more. Under another embodiment, the topical composition is spread in a layer of 15 micrometers or less. Under an embodiment, the topical composition is spread in a layer of 10 to 50 micrometers.

It has been observed that the addition of solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, wherein the vinylpyrrolidone:vinyl acetate ratio of 60:40, and mean molecular weight of 51,000 (PVP/VA S-630, supplied by Ashland, hereinafter “S-630”) at 1.0 wt % in a lotion exhibits ozone blocking at about 11%. It has been observed that the addition of vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in pure ethanol in a 50 wt % ratio, wherein the vinylpyrrolidone:vinyl acetate ratio of 70:30, and mean molecular weight of 56,700 (PVP/VA E-735, supplied by Ashland, hereinafter “E-735”) at 1.0 wt % in a lotion exhibits ozone blocking at about 10%. However, it has been observed that the addition of both solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer S-630, and dissolved vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer E-735, each at 1 wt % level in a lotion, exhibits ozone blocking at about 32%. This is an unusual and unexpected large increase in the ozone blocking ability of the lotion that comprises the solid and dissolved vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer. This large increase is repeatable, and is statistically significant.

Under one embodiment, the composition of the present invention reduces the transmission of ozone by at least 20% compared to the composition without the solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer and the vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent. Under one embodiment, the composition of the present invention reduces the transmission of ozone by at least 20% compared to the composition without the solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer. Under one embodiment, the composition of the present invention reduces the transmission of ozone by at least 20% compared to the composition without the vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent.

The observed synergistic effect in the ozone blocking is repeatable and statistically significant. Unfortunately, the theoretical underpinnings of the observed behavior is elusive. While the lotion comprising both S-630 and E-735 exhibit a slight bimodal molecular weight distribution, and exhibit a slight differences in the PV:VA ratios, it is more likely that the explanation lies in the state at which the copolymer is added to the lotion.

The present invention is also directed to a method for reducing exposure of gaseous pollutants to skin of a patient for skin, comprising applying to an area of skin the topical composition prepared by mixing sequentially into a skin lotion (a) solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, and (b) vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent. Under one embodiment of this method, the weight ratio of the copolymer content of (a) to (b) is about 8:1 to about 0.4:1. Under one embodiment of this method, the weight ratio of the copolymer content of (a) to (b) is about 6:1 to about 0.67:1. Under one embodiment of this method, the weight ratio of the copolymer content of (a) to (b) is about 3:1 to about 1:1. Under one embodiment of this method, the solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer has a molecular weight in the range of about 10,000 g/mol to about 100,000 g/mol. Under one embodiment of this method, the solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer has a molecular weight in the range of about 30,000 g/mol to about 70,000 g/mol. Under one embodiment of this method, the vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in the solvent has a molecular weight in the range of about 10,000 g/mol to about 100,000 g/mol. Under one embodiment of this method, the vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in the solvent has a molecular weight in the range of about 30,000 g/mol to about 70,000 g/mol. Under one embodiment of this method, the solvent is selected from the group consisting of alcohols, esters, and ketones. Under one embodiment of this method, the solvent is selected from the group consisting of ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and 3-pentone. Under one embodiment of this method, the solvent is ethanol. Under one embodiment of this method, the composition further comprises water, a humectant, a preservative, an exfoliator, a lubricant, an emollient, and an emulsifier. Under one embodiment of this method, the composition is a fully formulated topical lotion for use in reducing exposure of gaseous pollutants to skin of a patient. Under one embodiment of this method, a 20-micrometer layer of the composition reduces the transmission of ozone by at least 20% compared to the composition without the solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer and the vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent. Under one embodiment of this method, a 20-micrometer layer of the composition reduces the transmission of ozone by at least 20% compared to the composition without the solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer. Under one embodiment of this method, a 20-micrometer layer of the composition reduces the transmission of ozone by at least 20% compared to the composition without the vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in a solvent.

The method comprises the steps of placing the topical composition onto a small portion of a patient's skin, and spreading the topical composition onto a larger section of the patient's skin to form a layer of the topical composition. Alternatively, the method comprises the steps of placing the topical composition onto a patient's hand, and spreading the topical composition onto a larger section of the patient's skin to form a layer of the topical composition. Alternatively, the method comprises the steps of placing the topical composition onto a device, and spreading the topical composition onto a larger section of the patient's skin to form a layer of the topical composition.

The topical composition may be spread on a patient's skin with the patient's hand or any suitable device. The topical composition is spread at about a 20-micrometer layer. Under another embodiment, the topical composition is spread in a layer of 30 micrometers or more. Under another embodiment, the topical composition is spread in a layer of 15 micrometers or less. Under an embodiment, the topical composition is spread in a layer of 10 to 50 micrometers.

The present invention is also directed to a method of evaluating the reduction of the transmission of harmful pollutants to a patient's skin.

Specifically, the method used to evaluate the reduction of the transmission of harmful pollutants to a patient's skin by the use of investigational ingredients in a representative topical composition (“lotion”) is modeled on the transmission of ozone through the lotion which comprises the investigational ingredients to an animal model skin.

The ozone decay model is used to determine the ozone blocking performance of the lotion. The goal of this method is to extract the kinetic rate constant of ozone decomposition in the presence of a reactive substrate. The reactive substrate used in this method is an animal skin that approximates that of a human. Under one embodiment, the method uses a 5 cm×5 cm porcine skin coupon.

The ozone decomposition inside of a ozone chamber is modeled by the following mole balance:

$\begin{matrix} {\frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{dt} = {r_{i\; n} - r_{out} + r_{gen} - r_{conspn}}} & (1) \end{matrix}$

wherein r_(in) is the rate of infusion, r_(out) is the rate of effusion, r_(gen) is the rate of generation, and r_(conspn) is the rate of consumption of ozone.

Because this method focuses only on the decay curve of ozone, the ozone generator is turned off once the ozone concentration inside the chamber reaches 800 ppb. Hence, the first 3 terms in the can be neglected. Equation (1) then becomes:

$\begin{matrix} {\frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{dt} = {r_{i\; n} - r_{out} + r_{gen} - r_{decomp} - r_{rxn}}} & (2) \end{matrix}$

The consumption of ozone is accounted for by the rate of decomposition r_(decomp) and the rate of reaction r_(rxn). The rate of decomposition r_(decomp) is the background decomposition of ozone that is characteristic of the chamber in the absence of a reactive substrate through carulite granular catalysts. The rate of reaction r_(rxn) is the consumption of ozone by the reaction with the reactive substrate. Equation (2) can be further broken down in terms of concentration.

$\begin{matrix} {\frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{dt} = {{- {k_{d}\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}^{\alpha}} - {{k_{rxn}\lbrack s\rbrack}^{\beta} \cdot \left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack^{\gamma}}}} & (3) \end{matrix}$

wherein [O₃] is the concentration of ozone, [s] is the concentration of the reactive species in the pig skin, k_(d) is the rate constant of the background decomposition of ozone that is characteristic of the chamber, k_(rxn) is the rate constant of the consumption of ozone by the reaction with the reactive substrate, and α, β, and γ are their respective reaction orders.

To determine the reaction order α, the background decomposition of ozone in the chamber in absence of the reactive substrate is measured and regression of equation (5) is performed.

$\begin{matrix} {\frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{dt} = {- {k_{d}\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}^{\alpha}}} & (4) \end{matrix}$

Under some embodiments, a regression of ln(d[O₃]/dt) vs. ln[O₃] in the absence of a reactive substrate is linear, indicating a first order reaction rate, thus α=1.

$\begin{matrix} {{\ln\;\left\lbrack {- \frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{dt}} \right\rbrack} = {{\ln\; k_{d}} + {\alpha \cdot {\ln\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}}}} & (5) \end{matrix}$

To determine the reaction order γ, the O₃ concentration profile in the presence of the reactive substrate is measured. A similar regression analysis from above is performed as shown in equation (6).

$\begin{matrix} {\frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{dt} = {{- {k_{d}\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}^{\alpha}} - {{k_{rxn}\lbrack s\rbrack}^{\beta} \cdot \left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack^{\gamma}}}} & (6) \end{matrix}$

Under some embodiments, the regression ln(−d[O₃]/dt) vs. ln[O₃] in the presence of a reactive substrate yields a straight line, indicating that the overall order of the decomposition is equal to 1 with respect to the concentration of 03. Under such embodiments, it may be concluded that γ=1 and the rate of the decomposition of ozone does not depend on the concentration of the reactive species in the substrate. This may be interpreted that the effective concentration of the reactive species [s] on the pig skin is much greater than the concentration of ozone. Under such embodiments, the ozone concentration is rate controlling and not the concentration of reactive species [s]. The equation (3) may be simplified to:

$\begin{matrix} {\frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{dt} = {{- \left( {k_{d} + \left( {k_{rxn}\lbrack s\rbrack}^{\beta} \right)} \right)} \cdot \left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack^{\gamma}}} & (7) \\ {\frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{dt} = {- \left( {k_{d} + {\left( k_{rxn}^{\prime} \right) \cdot \left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack^{1}}} \right.}} & (8) \\ {\frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{dt} = {- {k_{app}\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}}} & (9) \end{matrix}$

Integrating both sides of the equations results in:

$\begin{matrix} {{\int_{0}^{\lbrack O_{3}\rbrack}\frac{d\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}{\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}} = {- {\int_{o}^{t}{k_{app}{dt}}}}} & (10) \\ {{\ln\frac{\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack^{0}}{\left\lbrack O_{3} \right\rbrack}} = {k_{app}t}} & (11) \end{matrix}$

Under some embodiments, the model reduces to Equation (11). Concentration profile from the experiment can be directly regressed into this equation to determine k_(app). The reaction rate constant k_(app) is the combination of the rate constant of the background decomposition of ozone that is characteristic of the chamber k_(d) and the rate constant of the consumption of ozone by the reaction with the reactive substrate k_(rxn)′ assuming that [s] is not rate limiting.

This above-described model may be used to evaluate the efficacy of blocking the transmission of harmful pollutants. Under one embodiment, the procedure for the evaluation of the blocking effects of various ingredients in lotions may be undertaken in a series of steps including the following: (a) prepare the lotion; (b) load the lotion onto a coupon model of human skin; (c) expose the loaded coupon to an ozone-enriched atmosphere; (d) calculate the ozone transmission through the lotion.

EXAMPLES

The above model was used to evaluate the blocking efficiency of ozone in a base topical composition. The base topical composition was a commercially available body lotion.

Example 1

Three experimental batches of lotions were prepared. In the first batch, 1.0 wt % of solid vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, wherein the vinylpyrrolidone:vinyl acetate ratio of 60:40, and mean molecular weight of 51,000 (PVP/VA S-630, supplied by Ashland, hereinafter “S-630”) was mixed into the base topical composition. In the second batch, 1.0 wt % of vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer dissolved in pure ethanol in a 50 wt % ratio, wherein the vinylpyrrolidone:vinyl acetate ratio of 70:30, and mean molecular weight of 56,700 (PVP/VA E-735, supplied by Ashland, hereinafter “E-735”) was mixed into the base topical composition. In the third batch, 1.0 wt % of S-630 and 1.0 wt % of E-735 were mixed sequentially into the base topical composition.

For each run about 50 mg of a formulated lotion was loaded in the middle of a 5×5 cm porcine skin coupon (Animals Technology, Inc., Bozman, Md., USA), and was spread on the entire surface of the coupon using an index finger. This procedure resulted in the entire surface of the coupon being coated with about 20 μm layer of lotion.

The loaded coupon was then incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. to allow water evaporation from the lotion. Such incubation modeled the typical conditions of lotion as used by patients.

The loaded coupon was placed into an ozone chamber (Oxidation Technologies, LLC., Inwood, Indian, USA), and the ozone level of the atmosphere in the chamber was increased to over 800 ppb. The 800 ppb ozone level is the typical high levels of tropospheric ozone observed in highly polluted cities on hot summer days.

Once the concentration of ozone is over 800 ppb, the introduction or generation of ozone in the chamber is stopped, and the level was left to decay. Once the concentration of ozone decreases to 800 ppb, a stopwatch was started. The concentration was then recorded every 30 seconds for 10 minutes or longer.

The above procedure was repeated three or four times with each of the three lotions. The above model was then used to calculate the % of ozone that was blocked by the use of the lotion. The results are presented in the following table.

TABLE 1 E-735 S-630 S-630 & E-735 Run 1 wt % 1 wt % 1 wt %:1 wt % 1 12.4 16.71 33.3 2 6.6 6.6 23.2 3 11.6 9.07 32.0 4 — — 37.4 Mean 10.2 10.8 31.5 Stand Dev 3.2 5.3 6.0

The data described in Table 1 (above) demonstrates that the use of E-735 and S-630 individually in the base lotion, had a small, yet statistically significant, impact on the ozone blocking effect. The data in Table 1 (above) also shows that the use of E-735 and S-630 in combination, in the base lotion, had a surprisingly significant impact on the lotion's ozone blocking effect.

Example 2

Three additional experimental batches of lotions were prepared. In the fourth batch, 0.75 wt % of S-630 and 0.75 wt % of E-735 were mixed sequentially into the base topical composition. In the fifth batch, 1.5 wt % of S-630 and 0.5 wt % of E-735 were mixed sequentially into the base topical composition. In the sixth batch, 0.5 wt % of S-630 and 1.5 wt % of E-735 were mixed sequentially into the base topical composition.

These batches were then applied to porcine coupons, incubated, and treated in an ozone chamber in a similar manner as described above.

The above model was then used to calculate the % of the ozone that was blocked by the use of the lotion. The results for the third through sixth batches are presented in the following table.

TABLE 2 0.75 wt % 1.00 wt % 0.50 wt % 1.50 wt % S-630 S-630 S-630 S-630 0.75 wt % 1.00 wt % 1.50 wt % 0.50 wt % Run E-735 E-735 E-735 E-735 1 24.0 33.3 52.8 46.5 2 23.9 23.2 45.1 42.8 3 — 32.0 — — 4 — 37.4 — — Mean 23.9 31.5 48.9 45.7 Stand Dev  0.1 6.0  5.5  2.6

The data described in Table 2 demonstrates the unexpected impact on ozone blocking effect provided by varying the ratio of the solid PVP/VA copolymer and the dissolved PVP/VA copolymer.

Example 3

-   -   Combination 1: 1% PVP/VA copolymer (Plasdone™ S-630)+1%         VP/Eicosene Copolymer (Unimer U-15)     -   Combination 2: 1% PVP/VA copolymer (Plasdone™ S-630)+1%         VP/Hexadecene Copolymer and Octyldodecanol mixture (Unimer         U-1946)     -   Combination 3: 1% PVP/VA copolymer (Plasdone™ S-630)+1% Acrylic         Acid polymer (Noverite™ K-752)     -   Combination 4: 1% PVP/VA copolymer (Plasdone™ S-630)+1%         Myristamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate (Arlasilk™ PTM)     -   Combination 5: 1% PVP/VA copolymer (Plasdone™ S-630)+1%         Acrylates Copolymer Dermacryl® AQF
